Awesome experience shopping with Vandem! Ordered a Loaded Icarus deck and forgot to add my free gift at the checkout but they put bearing lube in anyway which is what I was after, a load of stickers and love the little note they put in it's a nice touch and shows they care about their customers. Packaging and delivery bang on! Will definitely be a returning customer!
Thanks again Vandem!

Great service. It's been over 30 years since I skateboarded, but after messing around with my 14 year old sons board, I decided I wanted to give longboarding a go. Board arrived this morning and I've already been cruising and carving down some local hills. The Lush board is exactly that "Lush". Speed of delivery and service from Vandem is excellent, highly recommend.

Great experience buying my first longboard. I dropped into the shop to pick it up (having purchased online about an hour earlier), and Adam spent time giving me some advice on getting started. His demeanour is great - clearly has a lot of expertise and is really passionate about what he does, and answered my (very basic/silly) questions in a very supportive & non-patronising way!

Easy to use website with all the info I needed to choose the board I wanted. Simple payment, next day delivery - even a free gift!
Will defiantly bookmark this page for future purchases and recommend highly

Bought 2 boards from these guys. First was a Landyatchz Drop Hammer, perfect cruise board before meeting an untimely end under a 4x4. Replacement deck recommended by the team has been perfect and of course arrived the next day!
- Jordan, July 22, 2021
Great service !!!! When one of my orders for new bearings had a slight manufacturing fault Which was unavoidable as the box was sealed Adam got straight on the case and sent me a replacement Immediately Spoke to him on the phone, very helpful I’ll definitely use them again for future purchases

Been hunting around for some time finding the right board to get myself rolling again, and Vandem had just what I was after. I purchased the Lush Longboards Nomad. From the moment of purchase I was kept well informed throughout the stages of the board being prepped and then shipped out, which then arrived the next day too, which was great! Sensible prices, a nice range of quality brands to choose from and a user friendly website; will happily use Vandem next time I need a board or some kit
- Mikey Jay, July 06, 2021

Brilliant service, best price, and fast delivery
- Ben Chambers, June 23, 2021
Such a phenomenal customer service. Hands down the best online shopping experience. EVER in UK. Reliable, lightning fast response, quality items, eco friendly packing...list goes on. Last but not least, just a little hand written note on the invoice makes huge difference. We don't usually get those heart warming human touch from most of other online shopping.
- Shingo Watanabe, June 23, 2021
Amazing service! So helpful and friendly and super quick postage. Really can't fault these guys
- Jenni bell, June 17, 2021

- James bond Red, June 11, 2021
Reached out to the team at Vandem to help me select a suitable first longboard. I have ridden street decks all through my teens an 20s - and have continued with cruisers and electric skateboards across the last few years. However I was really after a board that would let me carve and move into freeriding - but would be suitable for my 16 stone, 5ft 10 rugby player build! Adam was extremely helpful providing me with options and taking the time to explain why the Arbor Dropcruiser Flagship 38’’ could be a very good option for me. The board arrived on time and packaged very well - I had a blast getting out on it - very smooth ride and carvy, rolls forever and I can’t wait to get out on it again tomorrow! Brilliant board - 1st class customer service from Vandem - if you are thinking of getting a longboard or cruiser please get in touch with these guys - you will not regret it!

Just had such an awesome experience here all around. Spoke to Adam on the phone and he went over and out being thoughtful and reassuring about delivery times etc. What a guy!

One of the nicest online shopping experiences ever. I ordered a Landyachtz Drop Cat 33. It arrived next day despite ordering late however they'd accidentally sent the 38 instead. I called and they offered to arrange a collection straight away and sort out a swap. They were really apologetic for the inconvenience (it wasn't really an inconvenience). They got the Drop Cat 33 posted out which still arrived on the day they originally said for delivery, so actually wasn't actually an inconvenience at all. I was so stoked by the friendly service I even bought another board and they gave me a small discount. I love the personal touch to service, little notes in pack and the small free gifts. I love the quick free delivery. This is how buying online should be. Hopefully I'll get to actually visit the store some time and will be using Vandem Longboard Shop for my skate needs in the future!

Awesome guys. Brilliant service, help and advice. Even packed some stickers which my kids grabbed before I could...lol Great to deal with enthusiasts rather than click on a major internet retailer.

When I needed an additional slide puck, my email was responded to promptly. They couriered out the same day, providing additional pucks and stickers. Dope team that loves skating; it's everything you want. 💜 from RideHaste Skateboards. Vandem is legit. 🤘🙇🤙

Skateboard shops are historically unwelcoming places; however, Vandem Longboard shop has been the complete opposite to this. They have provided fantastic customer service and really helpful advice throughout. I will only shop here from now onwards.

Look no further for top quality stock, service and delivery
Had a very mild mix up with stock of one of my orders which was almost entirely out of their control but after a quick call with Adam from vandem we had everything sorted out in no time and I finished the call with the item replaced and happier than I was when I went in, despite the bad news.
Unrivaled customer service, my go to for skate supply
Thanks again to the Vandem team!!
- James Syms, April 06, 2021
Brilliant! Really helpful advice and top guys. Even filmed themselves doing an ollie on the board I was considering to prove it was possible. Only downside is that their ollie was far superior to mine!

Rang for advice on a deck for surfskate and crossover. Brilliant advice from Adam and some points to think on in future. Purchased the Lush throttle and was delivered in less than 24 hrs in eco super protective packaging. Cool guys, amazing service!!

Brilliantly helpful and great selection of quality boards and parts. Bought a Lush Freebyrd Lopro then upgraded the wheels. Adam guided me through the wheel choice and answered my many emails. The result was Orangatang Orange 80a Caguama 85mm wheels which gave me the great rolling experience I was looking for. Highly recommended shop. My online experience was superb. Delivery super quick and free stickers!
- Jef Lofts, March 12, 2021

What an epic company - really knowledgeable and genuine. Adam is a legend. I'm new to the skating world but he gave me loads of great advice and I'm so so happy with the Lush Nomad board. Plastic free packaging as well which is amazing. Would give 6 stars if I could! 👊
- Ellie Stones, March 04, 2021
Super helpful when I had some queries about which hardness of wheels I wanted. Really friendly, just a nice experience in general dealing with them. Hyped to give them a visit at some point when we get back to normal. Cheers guys

First time long boarder, but born again from skating street a long time ago. Advice on the website, telephone and WhatsApp guided me towards a Lush Nomad, which I’m super happy with.
- Pete Robson, February 24, 2021
After being totally bamboozled by all the dodgy Amazon-affiliate "best longboard for beginners" lists all over the internet, the Vandem website was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend that you support these folks, and I'll be getting all my future gear from here for sure!
- Ellen B, February 15, 2021
Adam was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and above all patient with me and my lack of correct terminology. I am new to skateboarding and he took me through everything I needed to know about maintaining my existing board and what I should look for in my new board. He was very empathetic and able to translate my needs to practical ideas and recommendations.

Amazing service and advice! Adam is extremely nice and definitely knows how to help you find what's best. Very happy with my new cruiser! Cherry on the cake : sustainable packaging, fast delivery and a nice note.
- Sybil Willemet, February 08, 2021
Many online and physical shops that sell skate stuff are run by people who don't know anything about skating - they don't care about the hobby or how you're enjoying it, they just see it as a sale. Vandem is a different story. Vandem is a company run by actual skaters who are passionate about the hobby and want you to enjoy it too. When I was new to the hobby I called up and spoke to a very helpful and knowledgeable gentleman who helped me find the right board for me down to every specific part. Whenever a friend of mine says they want to get into longboarding, Vandem is the first place I tell them to look. When they say they've seen some cool looking longboards on amazon, I slap them and Vandem is the first place I tell them to look.

I got my first longboard from this shop. I learned a lot of useful info this web . The despatch was very fast and order arrived on time. The outer package had been damaged, but the board itself had been packed very well and it's safe.

I'm a big fan of Vandem Longboards as they are probably one of the best businesses I've ever dealt with regarding customer service etc. I used to skate loads ("normal boards") through my teenage years and now in my early 30's I really wanted to get back on a board but not necessarily throwing myself down sets of stairs or rails anymore and finding myself in A&E like I used to do every once in a while! During the first lockdown I thought it was the perfect time to get back into it but didn't know the first thing about longboards. I used the WhatsApp link to contact Vandem which is super easy asking advice on boards, within minutes I got back loads of information and was told to give them a call anytime if I needed more. I ended up purchasing a Lush Freebyrd Lo-Pro elite on their recommendation and I couldn't have been more pleased with the build as it's a quality build that's great to skate. I have used it every other day since and love it and have since gone on to purchase the Lush slide gloves they exchanged no problem when I needed a slightly bigger size. I've become slightly obsessed with longboarding now and already eyeing up a couple of different boards I would like to add to my collection shortly. My two young kids also like skating so no doubt will need boards of their own in the future and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my skating needs! Vandems website and Facebook page is amazing with loads of advice and info and loads of cool updates! Lastly they are a cool independent business with a great ethos about reducing their environmental impact and nothing comes packaged with any plastic etc. Vandem are the guys to go with as you'll always get unbeatable customer service and great quality products. 👍
